Common condition that plagues 1 in 10 people is ‘linked to dementia’ – are you at risk?

ANXIETY is linked to an increased risk of dementia, a new study suggests.

Researchers found those with the common mental health condition under the age of 70 were far more likely to be diagnosed with the brain-robbing disease in later life than those without.

But if anxiety was considered resolved, participants were no more likely to develop dementia than those who had never had it.
